HONOUR DAI MIER
FRENCH ( 1H0X-1879)
(Extract from an Article on Daumier by Mr. Edward Car//, Published
in "The Scrip," March. 1906)
"The »ork that Daumier, the caricaturist, did in his youth and early
manhood, especially the work of the political satirist and agitator, was
the best in this hue of his long career, and, so far as I can judge, it
was the best done iti France. It was inspired by great fervor of
conviction; it was rapidly produced, the forge was constantly hot:
it was most happily studied and rendered with the double joy of sin-
cere purpose and conscious power and advancement. Ami when the
artist turned from the field of political caricature, which the Govern-
ment made exceedingly difficult to him, his studies of morals and man-
ners were still marked by the same candour and depth of feeling, by
hroad and humane sympathies, by gentle and even delicate humour and
by obvious delight of execution. Two things were notably rare, if
they cannot be said to be really absent from his product, not only in
this period, but throughout his life. He very seldom drew a beauti-
ful woman, and when the form, as nut infrequently happens, is grace-
ful and true, the face is almost uniformly unheautiful. The other
missing element is still more curious In a Frenchman addressing him
silt to the laughter of his countrymen. Daumier, so far as I have
seen bis work, never seems to care for that particular form of coarse-
ness which his countrymen have a queer pride in calling gauloiserie.
On the other hand, he chose his types among the common people. He
dealt little with the follies or the vices of the fashionable. He was
not, indeed, except in politics, a satirist; be was a kindly, amusing
and amused commentator. Fven in his series of Hubert Macairc —
which contributed largely to his contemporary fame, but which seems
to me not to have been in his heartiest vein, to have been strained and
bound by a l'hilippon's text — he is singularly good-natured ; he laugh-
almost as easily at the rascal as at the vanity or greed hv which bis
victims gave Hobert his hold on them. It is worth noting that Hubert
was not of readily rt cognised French features: he was given a curious
face, more suggestive of a Scotch-Irishman than of a Frenchman, and
I could name a New York politician, who flourished as late as the
sixties, who might have posed for .Macaire — and would gaily have
acknowledged the likeness.
"The best lithographic work of Daumier was done previous to
the period of the second empire, and most of it in the first half of
the reign of Louis Philippe. I'ndcr Napoleon III. political satire was
sternly repressed or ingeniously turned aside bv arts in which the
patron of Ratapoil was past master. Prom ahout TuS(J(), moreover,
Daumier strove with the Utmost earnestness to get free from the task of
the caricaturist and to enter the Held of pure art. For some vears he
ceased to draw for Charivari, and devoted himself mainly to work in
oils and water-colors. His production was considerable; it was very
highly valued by artists; it has steadily advanced in the estimation
of connoisseurs and, gradually, of dealers, so that the price now com-
manded by a single canvas would have seemed to the painter a princelv
income for one of those terribly struggling years: but it did not
yield bread for his family, and he was forced to take up again the
weary load of daily toil with flagging energy, though never unfaith-
fully to his marvelous gift. 'Pile painting reproduced in this number
of The Sail), from the collection of Mr. Cyrus ,1. Lawrence, of this
city, is an excellent example of Datimicr's masterly drawing, of his
easy and powerfid command of characterisation, of his simple and beau-
tiful composition, and especially of that indefinable, unmistakable
vitality that burns in his slightest as in his most finished work. Were
he known only by one such painting, a careful study of it would reveal
the soul ami the hand of a great artist. Such he was held to be by
those most intimately familiar with him and with his product in his life-
time, who also were qualified to pass critical judgment upon it ami
upon him. Balzac, a comrade on the audacious staff of La Caricature
and an art critic in his tiff hours, remarked, *('c gadlard la, mes en-
fants, a du Michel-. \nge sous la peau." Later Dauhigny, before the
cartoons of Raphael at Rome, exclaimed: '("est comme du Daumier.'
In the portfolios of Delacroix were found, after his death, careful
copies of a number of Daumier* s drawings, especially those made from
subjects furnished by the bathing houses of the Seine, where Daumier
was in the habit of studying. Finally in the room of Corot, the loving
and faithful friend of Daumier, to whom he gave a home in his latest
years, the only pictures were a portrait of his mother and a painting
bv Daumier. These evidences I pick up here and there in the record
of a long life: they are eloquent and conclusive. In such company one
nod not fear to admire with unstinted fervor the art of Daumier; in
the presence of the art itself one cannot easily help it."

spread doeument, a lawyer stands, his right arm outstretched,
his body bent forward and his face abeam as he argues a tine
point in his case. The clumsy, knotted fingers, the snuffy
robe and dirty bib. long, grey locks growing sparsely on his

On tlit' right the blue waters of a river run glittering in the
sunshine. On the left the hank runs, curving gently to the
right, where it disappears in the middle distance. Boats and
broad wherries are moored alongside, waiting for their cargoes,
which arc being rapidly loaded from the heaps of sand, ready
piled upon the shore. The ground slopes sharply up from the
water's edge over a grassy terrace to a row of houses stretch-
ing to the distance. A brickyard and factory with tail chim-
ney complete the scene, which is alive with busy men passing
and repassing at their work. The sky is a tender blue flecked
with a few fleecy clouds floating in mid -heaven.

A BROAD, well-travelled road runs through the picture from
the left foreground, bends to the left and disappears in the
middle distance. On either side a row of tall poplars borders
the roadway, their hare and leafless branches thrust out boldly
against the sky. To right and left the ground slopes down-
ward into marshy meadows evidently Hooded in times of
storm. Parallel to the road on the right runs a narrow, swift-
Howing river, which loses itself, foaming, beneath the caver-
nous arches of a bridge. On the further hank the houses of
the small town crowd right up to the water's edge, dominated
by the massive walls and slender tower of a large church. The
sky is covered with a thin veil of cloud, the deep blue of the
heavens appearing here and there through the rifts. A few-
cows feed in the pasture by the river and sonic peasants are
walking along the road.

rise the IcaHess branches of some trees. At the corner, a lamp
on a wrought-iron bracket projects over the street, and on the
right a lolly: wall ends in the bare walls of a newly erected
house. The time is mid-winter, and the ground is thick with
snow. A passing cart has left deep ruts down the little lane,
along which a woman in a red cap is picking her way towards
a couple of men who stand talking at the corner. Between
the buildings can be seen a haystack and a glimpse of distant
fields and trees. Overhead the sky is covered by a pall of grey
cloud, and another fall of snow is not far distant.

Shkkk across the painting runs a mass of craggy rock topped
with a fringe of fresh green grass, its serrated edges standing
out in jagged outline against the sunuuer sky. The peaceful
waters of the Harbor wash the foot of the rock, fathoms deep
to the very edge, the tiny wavelets scintillating in the sun's
rays with all the colors of topaz, emerald and the opal, stretch-
ing to the horizon, unbroken by any sail or passing steamboat.
Vivid splashes of color painted with free and unhest itatin<r
brush show us the wondrous effect of the strong sunlight upon
the face of the rock, split and riven into a myriad facets by
the weather, and reflecting all the colors of the spectrum from
every tiny point. The handling of the color points, apparently
so ceaseless, in reality executed with wonderful precision and
intimate knowledge of the laws of light, gives evidence of the
greatest technical skill and the whole effect of the painting is
Complete and satisfying.

The foreground of the picture is occupied by a quiet river
flowing placidly by marshy hanks fringed by bushy willows.
Between the branches of the trees the while walls and blue
root's of a small village appear stretching across the picture
from right to left. Beyond the houses the ground rises, slop-
ing gently to the ridge of a long, low hill, which merges grad-
ually into the sky line and disappears in the distance. The
time is early Spring, the trees are still devoid of foliage, but
the twigs are thick with the new buds about to burst into leaf.
The skv is a tender blue, hidden behind a veil of misty cloud,
and the hills are clothing themselves in a mantle of tender
green, which finds an admirable foil in the browns and purples
left by departing Winter. The color scheme, tender and sub-
dued, is repeated in the mirror-like surface of the still water,
and the whole picture breathes an air of peace and stillness.

On the light the serrated escarpment of the dill's stands out
bold against the sunlight, diminishing in rapid perspective to
the middle distance, where a fold of the land indicates the
presence of a little valley. Beyond the terrain rises abruptly
into a hold foreland, curving gently to the left, its harsh out-
lines softened by a veil of mist which shrouds its distant form.
A narrow strip of sand is washed by the foam of the channel
rolling inshore in serried breakers. The sun is rapidly dis-
persing the mist and shines upon the nearer rocks, bringing
out vividly their play of wondrous colors. The rising vapor
hides the blue of the sky behind a transparent veil and the

us a view of one of the poorer quarters of Home. The broad,
ill-paved piazza occupies the foreground of the picture, encum-
bered with the fragments of old-time buildings and busy with
the forms of passersby. A gilt coach on massive wheels
drives across the scene, sightseers are seated on the rims, a
pompous nobleman struts into view and a heavily-laden
donkey is making for the entry to a narrow street. In the
shade of a tall obelisk the waters of a fountain plash into its
basin and women bring their vessels to the cool depths. On
the left a row of new houses is approaching completion,
behind which rises sharply the outlines of one of the seven

THE hounds have met on a wide rolling common, crossed by
a sandy road and swelling on the right into a low hill, crowned
with trees, and a small wood grows on the left. The fresh
green of the leaves, the color of the grass, and the tender blue
of the cloud-covered sky. show that the time is in the early
Spring when all nature is young and vigorous. In the fore-
ground an officer in uniform talks to a scarlet-clad member ot
of the hunt mounted on a fine grey horse, while a man and a
woman canter up along the line of the woods. A coach and
four has driven up and is unloading its occupants, and a whip
is endeavoring to restrain his unruly pack with the flickering
lash of his crop. The scene is gay with the colors of the uni-
forms, and the quick pattering hounds and impatient horses
give life and movement to the picture.

while cabs and carriages pass to and fro, adding to the move-

of beautiful Madison Square. The centre of the scene is occu-
pied by the beautiful triumphal arch erected by the genius of
Stanford While in honor of Admiral Dewey and his brave
sailors. An avenue of graceful double columns supported by
statues forms a vista leading the eye to the culminating beauty
of the arch, its beautiful proportions set oft by the superposed
statue of victory drawn by her prancing horses. Iteyond the
arch, the buildings of Fifth Avenue appear in the distance,
and overhead the sky is a brilliant blue, in which float a
few fleecy clouds.

the spectator near a mendicant with a basket: a woman in a
brown dress steps off the sidewalk and a group of nurses jost le
each other in the distance. An omnibus with three horses

add to the throng and hustle. The time is late autumn, and
a few withered leaves still cling to the bare twigs of the trees.
On the corner to the right a furniture shop displays its goods
on the sidewalk, to the inconvenience of the traffic, while
across the street the Eglise de la Trinite raises its ornate
front, surmounted by its lofty dome and golden cross, while
the facades of the lofty houses form a fitting background to
this typical bit of Parisian life.

Left Hand on Lyre
This large "Tanagra" lias been called a Statuette Sappho of
O (J Lesbos, because the lyre at her side makes her out a musician and
poet, while the cupid on her knee may refer to the love poems
which came down in Greek literature with the name of Sappho
attached to them. Like some of the Etruscan figurines, this one is
excessively long and slender. The arrangement of her hair is
very peculiar. Red paint still visible on hair. As in all these
pretty Statuettes, the heat! was moulded .solid and separate, and
then fixed to the shoulders. Expressive bend to the head of the
lady; much fine modelling in the drapery. In specially designed
cabinet.

and Italy. They were placed in tombs to represent the dead,
and also the friends of the dead, by way of comfort to the de-
parted. Few of the hundreds found in Greek and Etruscan
tombs are well modelled. Some, however, are charming and ex-
quisite. In specially designed cbonizcd cabinet.

Very graceful and beautiful figurine. The head was modelled
separate from the body, and put on when the figure was painted.
The holes in the unfinished backs of these "Tanagras," as they
arc called, served the double purpose of ventilating the inside of
the clay when in the kiln, ami hanging the statuette up to the
walls of the tomb. In specially designed uboni/ed cabinet.

266— Grkek-Ethi s< an Vase. Three-handled Black Vase
What with the constant exportation of Greek vases to Italy, and
the rise of several schools of Etruscan vase decorators, who
copied Greek designs, it is difficult to detect native Italian ware
from imported. The specimen is from Nola, Fourth Century
B.C. This is a very perfect wine jar of the sort found in tombs,
and probably made for mortuary purposes. Delicate reddish
bands pass partly round the body and neck. On one side a lady
carrying vase for niigu -nts turns to her maid, who is bringing
toward her a box which might contain cosmetics, or jewels, or
the ashes of the dead. The other side is plain, so that this vase
was meant to stand on a shelf, with the figured side outward.
Height. 10 Vi inches; diameter. 7 inchest.
267 — Grk.k.k-Etui scan Vase. Three-handled Wixk Jar
Very old specimen of Greek vases for the tomb. Chief decora-

races. Illegible inscriptions on the pale yellow ground near the
heads of the horsemen. Under the side handles are trophies of
arms for decoration. Fine old piece from Apulia, Italy', attri-
buted to the Sixth Century B.C. Perhaps by a Greek artist.

conversation. Xola ware, Fourth Century B.C. The man and
woman on this vase have been called Achilles and Dcidamia.
Height, 13% inches; diameter, 6% inches.

ANTOINE LOUIS HA RYE
"The man of genius whose work is represented in this exhibition enjoyed
an inspiration rare in any epoch, but never, from the earliest times,
without its zealous followers. In nearly every great school there have been
artists to whom the appeal of the animal as a subject for treatment has
been as urgent as the appeal of the human figure has been to the
majority of their fellows. One of the earliest masterpieces in the his-
tory of sculpture is that relief, of Assyrian origin, now in the British
Museum, which portrays a wounded lioness on the verge of its last
agony. The horse was modeled with peculiar knowledge and enthu-
siasm by the Greeks, and the taste, if not the power, developed in their
world, was revived in that of the Romans. In more modern periods
the same sympathetic feeling for the noblest of quadrupeds is observed,
and, indeed, the animal, wild or domestic, reappears again and again in
the works of the masters. The insatiable curiosity of Leonardo wreaks
itself on strange beasts; Rembrandt, in one of the most interesting of
his drawings, gives you the portrait of an elephant; the robust stvle
of Rubens is flung magnificently over the hurlv-hurlv of form involved
in a lion hunt, and so, through countless phases, an influence persists
down to our own day. Antoine Louis Barye is an honorable figure in
a long line of artists whose gifts have been dedicated to the interpre-
tation of the carnivora and those four-footed creatures which have been
tamed by man.
"Horn in Paris in 1795, he came to manhood at a time and amid
circumstances exceptionally favorable to the growth of his artistic pre-
dilections. In the clash of the Napoleonic wars men's minds turned
naturally enough to themes of wild violence. The typical academician
of that period pursued, it is true, the even tenor of his way, and, in
fact, under the empire, found his path made doubly smooth. But there
were electric forces in the air, and these were destined, sooner or later,
to promote rebellion against, pseudo-classicism and the rule of thumb
generally. The possessor of a literary or artistic temperament was
stirred by the emotions of the man of action, and these were bound to
find an outlet. Thus germinated the passion for a new ideal of beauty
and for individual expression which culminated in the formation of the
romantic school. The painters of 1830 established their tradition, con-
sciously or unconsciously, on a basis not simply of artistic, but of poli-
tical and social feeling. The life-blood of France was re-invigorated ;
men used their limbs with a new energy. The scales fell from their
eyes, and if they saw visions and dreamed dreams, they also looked out
upon the visible world with a keener zest and a wider range of sym-
pathies. They obeyed, moreover, the dictates of their own characters.
Gericault exercised the faculties of a realist with a dramatic turn of
mind. Delacroix, avid of the thing that he could see and touch, was
nevertheless impelled to bathe it in the glamour of romance. Decamps,
when he turned from landscape, from Oriental caravans, from Italian
peasants, and the like, would paint monkeys as human beings, giving
free play to the vein of satire in his nature. What of Barye, who
was of their generation and in harmony with their broad spirit? He
gave himself first and hist to the expression of the truth, presenting
it in his art without the intervention of any sentiment, romantic or
otherwise.
"The story of his career is one of unremitting application to the
lessons of nature. His father was a silversmith, and in his youth he
served the apprenticeship of a craftsman. In the workshop of Fourier
he learned how to work in the precious metals, and it may be noted in
passing that down to the day of his death he preserved the aptitudes
of the goldsmith. Some of his statuettes might have easily been
produced by a disciple of Cellini. But Barye soon craved a wider
field of activity, and found the key to it in that impulse which drove
him to the Jarclin des Plantes. Frequenting the collection of wild
animals there, absorbed in contemplation of their traits, he proceeded
to observe them both as an artist and as a naturalist. To Delacroix's
instinct for the sinuous beauty of the leopard or the tiger lie joined a
scientist's inquisitivcness as to the springs of action in those lithe,
gleaming bodies. lie studied the movement of the muscles under the
rippling skin, he noted every nuance of expression about the mouths
and eves of his great eats. He watched them feeding, or moving with
their eeaseless restlessness up and down the cage, or lying in ineffably
graceful repose. lie marked the reference of action to emotion, SO
synthesizing his observations that, when he came to paint one of his
water-colors or to model one of his bronzes, he made his lion or panther,
his tiger or crocodile, an astounding unit of form and feeling. The
tread of one of his tigers is full of power and menace. The whole
body seems to quiver. No beast of his is immobile, unless, perchance,
he wishes it to be so: and even then one is always aware, as in the pres-
ence of the living animal, of an extraordinary latent elasticity. Not
the Assyrian relief already mentioned, not any triumph of Greek plastic
art, is more vitalized than is one of these masterpieces of Barye. His
works have in them a spark of that life which makes a thrilling mystery
of the depths of the jungle. Like Blake, with his "Tiger, tiger, burn-
ing bright,' this artist Mashes upon the imagination an authentic image
of terror and beauty.
"He could do this, in the first place, because he knew his subjects so
well, because he had got, so to say, under their skins. The value of
the truth in his work is transcendent. But if his pictures and sculp-
tures arc to be treasured, it is also because they give expression to a
great artistic personality, to a man with the secret of style. He is
not content to make a realistic portrait of one of his models. He must
caress that portrait with an individualizing touch, he must determine its
outlines and its effect in the mass, so that it will conform to his sense
of design. It is interesting to note, too, that you may turn a bronze
of Barve's about, looking at it from every point of view, and always
it is interesting, as the animal itself would be, moving hither and yon.
There is a wonderful boldness, there is a kind of grand simplicity, in
the art of Barye; but he is a subtle master, one whose work, no matter
how spontaneous it may seem to be, leaves invariably an impression of
artistic construction, of delicately wrought composition.
"It took his country nun some time to realize what he was driving
at and to do him honor. In the competitions which he entered at the
Ecole des Beaux Arts, as a young man, the prize would again and again
be awarded to some rival now unknown to fame.
"He whs sorely tried, mid must at times have reached the brink of
despair. He was, however, no less tenacious than modest, and after
years of patient waiting he had his reward. Discerning patrons en-
tered his life, some of thein, like the Duke of Orleans, well qualified to
make his talent known, and little by little public appreciation drew
him from the obscurity in which academic authorities would have been
satisfied to leave him. Monumental bronzes of his were erected in
Paris and elsewhere; his works, executed on a small scale, figured in
exhibitions and were presently acquired with enthusiasm by private
colli ( tor-. Win n lie died, in 1ST"), In- died in the knowledge that his
rank as a great artist had been fixed, and ever since hi- renown has in-
creased. It is good to know t lint American connoisseurs were quick
to perceive his merit, ami that his art is finely represented in this
country.*'

.Miniature bronze. Antique green patina. I'aper-weight in
which Barye has for once taken an idea from the Orient — stork
and tortoise, both symbols of longevity, one representing the air,
the other water. In Europe the stork usually denotes the home,
and is supposed, when it builds on houses, to ward off the light-
ning. A charming and graceful little group, showing the deli-
cacy of limb obtained by the "melted wax" process.

Bronze. Brown patina. A combination in the Etruscan style
of lynx and bat the animal famous in antiquity for sharpness
of sight and the winged creature that haunts the dusk. Barye
had no precedent for this particular mingling of the two animals;
it is original with him, and forms a striking object suggestive of
the odd figures carved by the old French stoneworkers on Gothic
churches.

Antique green patina. That selfish philosopher the cat was a
favorite with Baryc, who loved to observe the resemblances and
the differences between tabby and the great wild cousins of the
jungle, whom he studied in the Jardin des Plantes. This cat
is purring and thinking, resigned to familiarities, but always
wrapped in her dignity. A lovely bit of green and gold patina,
very pleasant to the touch. The soft wrinkles in tabby's skin
above the shoulder are beautifully indicated with a broad model-
ling very extraordinary indeed.

In this ornament Baryc has
caught very perfectly the
dainty tread of animals of the
antelope family. Body and re-

also the timidity of the gazelle,
ever ready to fly at the slight-
est sound.

Mottled-brown patina. Paper weight, composed to admit

action. He was as perfect in a simple theme like this as in a
complicated one calling for a flight of imagination.

Antique green patina. One of the
most admired of Ba rye's figurines
of wild beasts. It is an anima]
thai rarely excites compassion in
count lies where slurp, poultry
and sometimes calves and fowls
succumb to its attacks; hut the
sculptor has been able to make us
feel pity even for the gray skulker
round the flocks. The action, the
modelling, arc superb. One seems
to hear the anguish of the howl.

288- (fiK) Ratex Bobbing Nbst
Anti(|ue green patina. The Cape or honey badger is a creature
peculiar to Africa. Hen- it is caught in the act of demolishing
the nest of a ground breeding bird. Its tail and lifted paw
express a kind of humor common to the bear tribe, of which he is
a distant cousin, though naturalists ally him with the weasels
also. Splendid broad modelling and a delightful color scheme
in the patina distinguish this lively figure.

289— (73) Two Dogs Ruxnixo
Brown patina. Anyone who has watched pointers at work will
relish this capital little bronze. Two dogs working as one are
close to the quarry. Then lean sides show the ribs, their legs
arc straining, they seem to be quivering all over with excite-
ment. With noses close to the ground they are following the trade
to which they are carefully bred, generation after generation.
Hunting of all kinds is practised in France to an extent very dif-
ficult to understand in a country apparently so completely under
cultivation.

290 — (71) English Daciisiu xi.
Antique green patina. Badger hounds in Great Britain are not
so low in the leg and comparatively long in the barrel as German
"dackcrls," as they are affectioiiah 1 v called in the Fatherland.
Harye had a genius for expressing character in animals without
pushing it over to the sphere of nature-fakirs. Here he catches
the kindly, intelligent look of the dachshund, one of the most
beloved among the many breeds of dogs.

291— (70)— Dachshund
Mottled-green and brown patina. Closer to the common type
of German badgerhomid in BarvcVs day, this beautiful bronze
does not j>ortray the extreme modern type of the breed which
furnishes German caricature with some of its best and most
harmless jokes. This dog is well fitted to enter a badger's bur-
row and drag the solitary, angry fellow out into the open. He
is bred for hunting, not to amuse people with a body and legs
like a crocodile.

292 (72) Bkoxzi: Gnore. Two Docs Aftkf Phkasant
(Proof No. 5.) Brown patina. People of wealth in Prance, as
in Knglaiul, pay much attention to hunting, and naturally enjoy
pictures and bronzes that remind them of the chase. Here is
Barye trying to please that taste by modelling a pointer and a
setter in the act of showing their master the lurking place of a
pheasant. The bird is lying flat, hoping to be overlooked in the
brown grass and leaves. The two dogs are in characteristic
poses. Distinctively a mantel ornament for lovers of the chase.

293— (56) Wounded Stag
Mottled-green and brown patina. One of those delieate little
bits of animal life which Harvi- fashioned in competition with
other makers of figurines. But where they are trivial, common-
place, realistic without point, Barve was broad and impressive,
no matter how small the figure might be. This stag, aware that
something has touched bis vitals, raises his head and slightly
bends his hind legs just before falling to the ground. Jfe is a
young buck still, a "five-ender." The sculptor indicates the
bony structure of the body in a masterly modelling.

294— ( 55) — STAG Walking
(l'roof \o. Hi.) Golden brown

of the oakwood is here, reduced
to the size of a figurine to crown
a timepiece on a mantel, vet
shaped as only one can model
who has lived with such lovely
creatures most of his life. He
is u "seven-ender," a patriarch
of the deer park. Observe the

295 — (5fi) Listening Sta<;
(Proof No. 'Mi. ) Brown patina. Like Kosa Bonheur in France,
and Sir Kdwin Landseer in Great Britain, the sculptor of ani-
mals frequented places where deer are at liberty. Not content
with modelling those in the Zoo. Barye frequented Fontaincbleau
and other parks where game is preserved, just as the painters
of animals did later. In fact, Delacroix was doing it at the same
time. This stag, with haughty, uplifted head, is a little marvel
of color as to the patina on the bronze, and a masterpiece of
modelling.

296 — (54) Stag with Raised Leg
(l'roof No. 40.) Brown patina. Proudly pawing the ground,
the stag that Barye modelled here is a buck that sees his rival at
a distance, and prepares for a battle. Meanwhile his inner rage
shows itself by the uplifted foreleg, for deer strike with forelegs
as well as butt with their horns. Amateurs of bronzes admire
greatly the patinas which Barye managed to give his bronzes
about" the period of these figurines (1887-1845). This bit
might be called "The Challenge."

297 — (52) Bkonzk Gkoit. Brett, Don, and Two Fai ns
Antique green patina. Family life anions the pretty <lenizens of
the deer park. Barye has studied the silhouette of a group in-
tended as an ornament of the mantelpiece, where perhaps a mir-
ror would reflect the opposite side. The heads of doc and faun
come opposite the open spaces under the buck's neck and between
his hind legs. The doe's head is particularly well placed with
regard to the head and neck of the stag. Specially fine green
patina, which is relieved against the black marble of the base.

head erect as a watcher over the safety of the family. Well com-
posed mantel ornament to be looked at front one point of view.
Observe tlte silhouette, the way the head of the resting doe fills
the space below the barrel of the stag.

Height. !>' 4 inches; length, \V]\ inches.
299 — (SO) Bitos/i: Gnori-. Wou Hoi.iuxc; Stag by Throat
Antique green patina. Barye was inspired in one way by the
interest in natural history shown in Fan-ope and America during
the first half of the last century; in another by such novels of ad-
venture as Cooper's Leather Stocking talcs and the books that
came after from the pens of Britons, Germans and Frenchmen.
What all boys enjoy— descriptions of combats between animals
— that Barye enjoyed, with the additional zest of the artistic
imagination springing from the tragic side of wild life. Here
is a large gray wolf at the desperate task of pulling down a
stag without laming it beforehand. lie has sprung at the stag's
neck and runs the risk of being cut to pieces by the animal's
sharp hoofs before he can disable his prey. Fierce and spirited
struggle between traditional foes.

tfOO— (4!)) Bear Standikc
lS.'Jl. Antique green patina. Barye tried
to prove that wild beasts have all t lie main
traits of human beings; not merely the
tragic traits, but the comic. The bear has
a humor all his own. whether he is playing
tricks on bis fellow-bears or rolling about
in the water. Singularly like a clumsy
monster of a man is the bear on his hind
legs. He can stand like a man because
men and bears are "plantigrade," or have
feel alike in general structure. Here we
have Bruin as he delights the village chil-
dren when he dances for them. A pose
lull of energy and balance, a delicate dark
green patina with gold high lights, make
this a remarkable figurine.

lias thrown itself on its back and seized the toe of a hind foot with
the claws of a forepaw, as a baby will lay bold of its foot with
its hands. Broad, easy modelling, which takes account of the
different lav of the pelt in different parts of the body of the
bear.

forest life, in which the struggle for existence favors the more
intelligent. This is one of the rare pieces which seldom arc for

30-1- (4">) Small Algerian Dkoiikdary
Antique green patina. Ever since Napoleon's expedition to
Europe, the Orient has attracted French artists. During llarve's
life there were many painters beside Geronie and Decamps, who
made their mark depicting African scenes. Algiers kept France
interested in Northern Africa. The little statuette of a drome-
dary shows the desert post horse, which is trained to carry men,
not packs. They make marvellous time over the Sahara, com-
pared with the ordinary dromedary or the two-humped Bactrian
camel. Camels keep a store of water in one of their stomachs
and a store of fat in the hum]), so they can go for days without
food or water.

Mottled-brown and green putina. African elephants ran be most
readily distinguished from Indian by tbe great size of their cars.
This little figurine expresses well tin curious ap|>earanee of an
elephant, as if made out of gutta-percha, and at the same time
offers a very remarkable color scheme in its patina. A singular
fact about the African elephant is this: Unlike the Indian, it was
never domesticated bv any of the races of that land, not even
bv the Egyptians, whom the Greeks thought the wisest of man-
kind.

comparatively small, pricked forward as if it were about to
charge. Observe that the great weight of the beast rests alter-
nately on the left front and right back leg, then on the right

310 — (41) Cochin China Elephant
Modern. Antique green patina. Elephants of Indo-China are
naturally akin to the Indian. Only naturalists can separate
them. There is a great difference among individuals. The
famous white elephants of Siani are merely sports in color such
as all animals show. Tlx' sculptor lias given a special character
to this elephant from Cochin China, but the difference is indi-
vidual, not racial.

311 — (JiS) Large Group. An Elephant Crushing a Tiger
1837. Brown patina. The Due de Montpensier gave Barye a
special order for this group, and in 1837 he finished it. It was
not senl to the Salon because the favors received by the sculptor
from members of the royal family excited so much jealousy that
his pieces had been refused before. Here we are in Northern India
assisting at a duel to the death between the largest and wisest
of vegetarians and the fiercest and most powerful of flesh-eaters.
The tiger has grappled the elephant's shoulder. The elephant
has torn him off with his trunk, and before he can get his feet lias
pinned him to the earth with his right tusk. Splendid group,
which added greatly to Banc's fame.

Brown patina. Mounted on an antique green marble base. The

the eagle seizing the serpent. This is a comparatively rare bit
of Barve's bronzes.

313 — (85) Seated Figure of Jlno
Antique green patina. For the Due de Muntpensier, a brother
of Louis Philippe and uncle of the late King Leopold of Bel-
gium, the sculptor designed n candelabrum having just above the
foot three nude figures, the trio of goddesses who sought to gain
the golden apple from Paris. This figure is a seperate casting
of that of Juno. She looks down, somewhat ashamed of the
competition. In one hand is a sceptre; under the folded robes
OH which she sits is her attendant bird, the peacock; indeed, the
bird may be said to support the weight of the goddess — if a god-
dess could have weight. Fine large classical lines without gross-
ness or exaggeration ; close approximation to the real antiques
of the great Greek period. Venus and Minerva are the other
goddesses. At the top of the shaft stand the three Graces.
The candelabra were never shown at the Salon.
Signed on the base, "Barve."

314— (32) A Panther Reclining
Antique green patina. Fine brown patinated figure of an Asian
panther at rest, extended on a rock. The great muscles are re-
laxed, but the sculptor indicates them by broad modelling. He
expresses well the big, soft pads and the wrinkles in the loose
skin about the neck.

with the weight of the bear on his shoulders. In such a duel the
odds are in favor of the bull, for though bellowing with pain and
surprise, the hull is not crippled. In a moment he will be up,
will fling his clumsy rider, and then — woe to Bruin ! Magnifi-

thing which has interrupted his meal. Tense, powerful, but per-
fectly quiet attitude of challenge. The open mouth shows his

Brown and green patina. Mounted on a rosso-antico base. An
example of how an artist may use his imagination and depict an
advance in civilization through a simple group. The anthropoid
ape springs upon the back of that queer mixture of horse and
deer, cow and antelope, and, holding on by mane and tail, forces
the four-footed animal to carry the four-handed cousin of
primitive man. Barye suggests in this group the training by
early man of such animals as the horse and dog to do his work.
A hold and really wonderful fancy, which came to an artist
before Darwin and Wallace had written, when only La Mnrck
had suggested the evolution of man! Observe how the ape holds
to the barrel of the gnu with his big foot-thumbs.

1860-55* Antique green patina. One of the most terrific of all
the animal combats sculptured by Barye is this group of jaguar
and alligator. The cU'ecl is largely due to the marvellous spring
of the muscles in the jaguar, the litlieness of the beast combined
with the terrible force exhibited. Only a man who knew every
muscle and bone of the beasts from having dissected them could
handle their forms under the skin with such mastery. This group
is peculiarly delightful in patina.

a similar scene. Young

ness so strenuous thtit
it differs little from a

creature's blood, having buried its fangs in the artery of the
neck. How closely Uarve studied these creatures is shown by
flic difference In- makes between flic active and inactive paws of
the tiger. Those clutching the prey have the claws well out of
their sheaths, hooked into the flesh of the gazelle. Those on the
hind feet are retracted into the sheath. Markings indicated by
parallel incisions.

Green patina. Enjoyment

time to the ferocious emo-
tions of the king of beasts.
Splendid modelling of the
mane. The peculiar spare
quality of the leonine body is
well told. Barve won early
a very false position in the popular mind, as a person who loved
cruel sights, because he represented the carnivorous beasts at-
tacking and feasting on their natural prey. lie lived in an age
when Kngland vied with France in .sentimentality, and Barve
often shocked the devotees of maudlin sentiment by presenting
such common tragedies of the wildwood.

182!J-:}:}. Mottled-green patina. Barve received the decoration
of the Legion of Honor after the French government had ac-
cepted the model of "Lion Crushing a Serpent," the big bronze
that visitors of the gardens of the Tuileries in Paris will remem-
ber near the terrace overlooking the Seine. When this big group
was cast bv the "lost wax" process and erected near the Tuil-
eries. the unveiling was a famous event. This little bronze is not.
a reduction of the big one, but it is the same subject, somewhat
different in pose. The lion of monument is quieter, and his left
paw is not raised to strike as here. A lion has placed one of his
paws Dii tin- (nil of a serpent, and as it foils to strike, lie gives it
a lightning blow. The sculptor takes the moment of pause just
before the blow falls. Wrath, disdain, energy are exhibited by
the beast.

341 -(18) Lion Walking
1835-86. Antique green patina. A companion piece to the walk
ing tiger just noted, and in no way inferior to that wonderful
figurine. Perhaps, by reason of his inane, the lion is more pic-
turesque or more sculpturesque than the tiger. The modelling
of shoulder and flanks recalls the Assyrian bas-reliefs, where
kings in chariots hunt the lion. Barve's work challenges coni-
parisou with the greatest work of the past.

Tiiilerics. 1 .S:}°.-.'J:i. Dark green patina. Reduction by Haryc
of his famous colossal group, still standing in tin: gardens of the
Tiiilerics, Paris. French people saw an allusion to political par-
ties in this monument of a lion placing his paw on a vicious ser-
pent. The older classicists, who imiv have cared little for politics,
but everything for Roman grandeur, were also incensed, because
they thought that animals were beneath the dignity of large
sculpture. Instead of striking at the serpent, as in the foregoing
statuette, in this case the lion is more disdainful than furious. He
shows his teeth ami growls, but merely anchors the serpent to the
spot with one formidable paw. The mane is treated in great
masses or waves of hair. That displeased still other artists, for
such broad treatment of sculpture was in defiance to the pettv,
hair-by-hair modelling of the industrious but common place sculp-
tors of the day. Historic piece, greatly valued by amateurs.

Louvre. lHlH). Antique green patina. Reduction by Uarve of
his famous seated lion of the Louvre, on one side of the main en-

nickname of The Philosopher, owing to its quiet, its brooding
look, it Sphinx-like expression. It made so good an impression
that the government ordered another as a pendant for the other
side of the gate, hut to the astonishment of the official world,
Barve refused. He said he would make another lion, but not a
duplicate of "Le Philosophe." The end was that the govern-
ment had a second lion of tin- same size and attitude cast, but
reversed, so that the tails come right and left as you stand be-
fore the two otherwise identical statues. Harve protested, hut
it was of no avail; they stand there now.

A Roman poet makes Nestor, telling yarns to the warriors before
Trov, describe the wild work that occurred al a certain wedding
ill Thcssaly to which the Lapiths invited the Centaurs. After
the ruction began, "Theseus leaps on the back of tall Hianor,
fixes his knee* in his ribs, and. holding his long hair, seized with
his left hand, shatters his face and his threatening features and
his very hard temples with the knotty oak." Barye illustrates
this earliest of forerunners of Donnybrook Fair. With his left
hand he presses Bianor's head back, and with a knobbed stick
hauls off to crack his skull. For some reason, perhaps to get the
space under the horse's barrel filled, the sculptor has placed a
drapery under Theseus. It Mows down to the rocks and passes
between the hind legs. This is one of the most magnificent and
most valued of all Barve's groups. The original was bought by
government 1850, and after being cast in bronze was sent to the
.Museum at Lc PlIV.

Fquestrian group. In a fancy riding costume called in French
"LWmazone." Golden brown patina. Mounted on a vcr-antiquc
murble base. Modelled about 18:J7, this equestrian statuette rep-
resents a lady in an "ainazonc" or riding dress fashioned after
some style of the Fli/.abethan age, a revival in 1KJJ0 of certain
points in an ancient mode of millinery. The beret with feather,
the high shoulders, slashed sleeves, corsetted body and long chain
about the waist, show the revival of an obsolete style. The horse
with diminutive head and the saddle are old style also. The
placidity of the lady, her air of stately grandeur and general
appearance of "good form," must have made this statuette at-
tractive to the class of buyers whom Barye had to please, those
who hunted and rode and Hked bronzes of deer, dogs and horses.

Bronze equestrian figure. Designed for the City of Grenoble.
Modern. Antique green and brown patina. Barye was to have
had a commission fur a large equestrian monument to Napoleon
the Great from the city of Grenoble. This represents a model
be made fur that work. Barye heard that Mcrcicr had been
commissioned t ( , make a design for the Napoleonic monument in
Grenoble; this angered him so, that he threw up the commission
at once. It is Bonaparte, First Consul, rather than the Em-
peror Napoleon, whom lie has modelled here. Another equestrian
statuette represents Napoleon still earlier, when he was winning
battles in Italy for the sordid crowd that was running the govern-
ment in Paris. Had lie carried out this monument, the final
statin- might have been different from this model.

Bronze group. (Heduction.) 1831. Brown patina. The
gaviai is a crocodile of the Ganges, and here we have the tiger
as an avenger of the many human beings killed by the crocodile.
Peculiar is the curling tip of the tiger's tail. The crocodile is
almost helpless, because it has been seized in such a way that it
cannot use its tail as a weapon, while its armored neck docs not
permit it to turn sufficiently to bite its powerful foe. Large man-
tel ornament very well composed to preserve the outline. Under
the right foreleg of the tiger the sculptor has introduced a tor-
toise, representing the water, which is the usual abode of the
great lizard. The crocodile has been caught, however, on dry
land.

Bronze group. ( Proof No. "i. ) Golden brow n patina
Bane hardly ever reached a higher flight in his human figures
than he did in this celebrated group of Theseus despatching the
monster Minotaur in the labyrinth of .Minos in Crete. A bull-
headed monster with horns would naturally attack with his head
down. But that would not do from the artistic point of view.
Instead, Barye imagines that he thinks be can wrestle with the
Athenian youth, and down him by his enormous muscles. It is
brains against brawn, man against half-man. So he puts a sword
in the hands of Theseus, whom he mo lds like the primitive statue
of Apollo found on Delos. He is very calm, very much at ease,
quietly choosing the spot where the fatal blade shall enter. This
group was begun in IS-il, finished in lN4fi, and sent to the Salon
of 1851.

knight has pulled his steed on its haunches. The figure and base

stand designed by Barye himself, the whole composition showing
how carefully he calculated the taste of the day, which ran power-

Barye frequented such parks near Paris as might serve for a
study of animals in a state of freedom. He drew animals and
birds in charcoal and water-color; he painted in oils, and owing
to his simple and straightforward nature it turned out that his
pictures, with or without animal life, became valuable to
amateurs. This is one of his water-colors, made without any
intention to sell. When in later years demand arose for his

Kteliinjt I'rintril in Colors
On a low hill covered with a sparse growth of grass, a wretched horse
looks over a desolate landscape. A squalid old woman drags a sack to
a rubbish pile beside a rickety fence, and behind her are outlines of
squalid shanties. The scene extends over a scarred ami barren coun-
try, past a large building to a factory belching smoke in the distance
against the background of a ridge of low hills.
II eight, 7 inches: length, 8 inches.
